BETTER THAN VACATION.-Th This
is pre- eminently the vacation month,
when thousands seek rest and recrea-

pressing effects of summer debility, the
disagroeable symptoms of scrofula, the
tortures of biliousncss, dyspepsia, or
sick headache, there is more pain than
pleasure in leaving home. To such we
say, give Hoods Sarsaparlla a trial.
II will purify your blood, tone up and
strengthen your body, expel every
trace of scrofula, correct biliousness.
and positively cure dyspepsia or sick

you will enjoy your vacation a thousand

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inflamed, you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
| and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but au in
| famed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking

During the severe snow squall Fri
day night, the schooner Mineral State.
loaded with plaster from Alabaster,
was forced to run back. She was
headed, SO her commander supposed,
right into Thunder Bay, but owing to
some mistake, she was headed to far
north and ran ashore between North
Point and Troden's fishery. She was
soon observed by the Thunder Bay
Island life saving crew. and Capt.
Persons and his men went to her in
the life boat. A very heavy sea was
running. The weather was extreme
ly cold, ice making rapidly, and her
captain decided to remove his woman
cook to the life boat. The work of
transfer was exceedingly laborious
and dangerous. The sea would not
permit of the life boat laying along
side. Capt. Persons, however, was
experienced at the work. He got his
life boat under the jibboom, and the
crew aboard the vessel then got the
woman out on the iibboom and lower
ed her into the life boat. The scene
must have been an exciting one. The
wind was blowing gale, sheets of
water were flying over the vessel. and
below the jibboom the life boat was
dancing about like cork, and had to
be kept in the right place. so that the
woman would land safely into it, as
she was lowered from above. The
task was safely accomplished and the
life boat was headed for this port, and
the crsw had hard row of at least
nine miles. The captain of the
schooner came along to see if any as
sistance could be rendered. The
storm continuing, it was decided to
remove the rest of the crew from their
disagreeable position, and the life saw
ing crew made second trip to the
stranded vessel and brought away the
rest of the crew to this port, having
done a very hard days work. Capt.
Persons and his men deserve much
praise for their work.
Yesterday forenoon the tug Efie l..
went out to the stranded schooner,
taking with her the schooner Minnie
Davis and steam pump.

Mr.. Evarts' Laugh.

Mr.. Evarts is reported as having
laughed at the Democratic claims
that there was now taxation to the
extent of s10O,OO0,0o0 a year, and
saying that the Americon people could
not feel it, for it was only Sl.66 apiece
year.
True enough The annual surplus
taxation which has gone into the
Treasury may be only that sum for
each man, woman and child, but by
locking up in the Treasury vaults the
gold, silver and currency paid for taxes
such a currency famine and business
distrust we're created as to alarm every
bank officer, merchant and business
man in our city. What else compell-
ed, or seemed to compel, the extraor-
binary offer for government bonds
made by the Treasury And this dis
trust is by no means cured, or the peril
even passed, as Mr.. Evarts, away up
in Vermont, may yet discover!
But $1.66 apiece is not the full
measure of this surplus taxation which
bears on the workingmen, who, by
reason of it, are compelled to pay at
least so per cent. more for clothing
and blankets than an English work.

list of the taxes inflicted on the

ton of the food supply of the State,
and to give report of such examin.

The rather startling fact is brought
out by the report that of the thirty
different brands of baking powder an
alyzed, composing about all those sold
in the State, twenty of them are made

The highest medical authorities to be

Enterprise is a good thing, but our
contemporary, the Pioneer, in its is
sue week before last, had too much OF
it. 1t came about thusly: The
Journal was having its papers printed
at the Pioneer Office, and, having a
contract with the Board of Supervis-
ors to print their proceedings, had set
them up and printed them in supple
ment form. The Pioneer thought
this a good chance to get ahead of the
ARGUS, and therefore it borrowed the
type of the Journal, merely changing
the head and calling it supplement
to the Pioneer. 1t was the worst col
lection Of glaring errors ever given
it's patrons, which is saying good
deal, when its course few years ago
is considered, and made the Supervis-
ors do some wonderful things in re-
gard to taxes to be levied. The
County Treasurer was credited with
having balance of $545,37200 on
hand. Alpena city had but few
dollars county and State taxes to pay,
and the amount of delinquent taxes
that the townships were to pay was
enough to ruin them. The week after
the Pioneer lacked enterprise enough
to correct the errors it had made. Al
pena township, for instance, was to
raise s23, POI in addition to the usual
township, school and highway taxes,
